Bible Question: Does the bible give reference to the earth being round or flat, or to the earth or sun being the center of the solar system? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Razman! When you read the Bible you will not find passages detailing science, astrology, grammar, philosophy... The Bible is a composite of God's commandments and regulations. It is the guide for the people of Israel (Old Testament) and for Christians (Old and New Testaments). Since the wisdom of God cannot be gained by studying the various sciences there could be little sense in filling the Bible with formulas and theories that would be well beyond the abilities of the ancient people of Israel and the early Church.
